Unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans
write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true Witness,
the Beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that
thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,
I will spew thee out of My mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich,
and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest
not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind,
and naked: I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire,
that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest
be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear;
and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
"As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten:
be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door,
and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will
come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me. To him
that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even
as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His throne.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches." Verses 14-22.
The Lord is soon coming. The watchmen on
the walls of Zion are called upon to awake to their God-given
responsibilities. God calls for watchmen who, in the power of
the Spirit, will give to the world the last warning message;
who will proclaim the time of night. He calls for watchmen who
will arouse men and women from their lethargy, lest they sleep
the sleep of death.
